For motherboard testing we will be running the processor and motherboard and the default optimized settings in the BIOS (as if you would restore the defaults on the board). We feel that this is how most users will have their systems configured. So everything will be on auto, except for setting our profile for our memory.

Here are the tests we’ll be running.
